Thanks Tony! I wish somebody had told me about :h runtimepath twenty
years ago. It sure would have helped in my development and tech support
for VimOutliner.

Oh oh. See following command line session:

==================================================
[slitt@mydesk .vim]$ echo $VIMRUNTIME

[slitt@mydesk .vim]$ echo $VIM

[slitt@mydesk .vim]$
==================================================

I'll be studying :h runtimepath to make me more proficient with Vim.
Thanks for showing it to me.
